Court of Appeal orders INEC to resume Melaye's recall

The appellate court made a unanimous decision to strike out Melaye's application.

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has ordered the resumption of the recall process against Kogi lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye after his appeal against the process was thrown out on Friday, March 16 2018.

The appellate court made a unanimous decision to strike out Melaye's application to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from completing the process after he lost a Federal High Court judgement.

The lawmaker representing Kogi West Senatorial District had argued in his appeal motion that the lower court lacked jurisdiction to try the case.
